Self checkout is about to get real interesting.

All of our country. We have 1 official electricity producer, but it has been run I to the ground. Google “eskom South africa” for more info. Short version is they cannot produce enough power so we have scheduled times pretty.much daily with no power. Here we call it load shedding. The power issues and lack of maintenence on infrastructure is affecting other things like water supply.The government has so much corruption we have actually seen the government protesting itself about service delivery. Google “Gupta state capture South africa” for an idea of this. Politics is very much like the US where minorities are scapegoats. The leader of the EFF , a populist radical opposition was for example quoted as saying “we are not calling for the killing of white people… at least not yet”. There are other issues, but I still think clusterfuck is the appropriate description. We are resilient though.

South Africa. Clusterfuck best describes the situation. Daily Rolling blackouts. Political uncertainty. Higher cost of living. Massive corruption. Brain drain as those who can are emigrating. But at least we have no war.

“To own it” bwahahahaaaa

Who would you say is the standards authority for the English language?

Something something, make me a sammich?

Are you in South Africa? Personally I migrated to Intel NUCs and run virtualization with them. Power wise I have an Inverter and a solar panel as a backup. Inverter handles all the heavy lifting and switching. This system is purely for my electronics. So laptop, servers etc. There is no “cheap” way to do it, but if you do it in stages it can be affordable. If you can, try not to cheap out on the batteries and Inverter. Lead acid based batteries are OK IF you take care of them. Don’t use the cheapest Inverter. It’s not worth the risk of damage.

Hmm. So is quintin Tarantino interested in a remake?

My first ever audition was for Dredd. I really wish I didn’t blow it. It would have been awesome to be a part of it.
